I have been making my own Greek yogurt (I have a yogurt machine), but I have been doing something wrong.

The texture is very thin - thinner than regular yogurt that you find in the store.

What am I doing wrong?

I know that I am supposed to strain it after, but even after straining it through cheesecloth, it's still very thin.
 

How do you make your cabbage salad?

I love Greek cabbage salad. My family makes it very simply with cabbage and a ladolemono. I add feta cheese because, why not LOL.

I have had other versions with other veggies and a different seasoning - like one version I had blended cabbage with carrot and had an apple cider vinegar dressing.

How do you guys do it?

Grilling a whole chicken?

I have to feed a crowd soon and I decided to grill whole chickens... I am trying to figure out the best way to do it. I need to grill maybe 4-5 whole chickens. I don't have a spit.

I was thinking to butterfly them and marinate them in a ladolemono, then grill them until they're cooked, rotating them often. Do you think this will work?

Best Meat for Stifado?

Most of the stifado (Greek meat stew) recipes that I have actually call of rabbit. I live in the United States and it is actually difficult to find rabbit, unless you know someone who hunts. Not only that, but I don't care for rabbit.

I have a friend who uses either beef or lamb for her stifado. I preferred the beef version. I want you guys to weigh in - what do you think is the best meat for stifado? Once I pick a meat to use, can I use the same recipe, and just use whichever meat I pick instead of the rabbit that is in my recipe?

Food Tour of Greece?

I want to take a food tour of Greece, and I only really have time for one destination. Where do you suggest I go? Some possibilities:

- Stay in Athens the whole time
- Crete
- Ikaria
- Thessaloniki

Really, any place in Greece would be good I imagine! Is there a site that has actual guided tours? I know I could just go somewhere and eat and explore on my own, but I want to meet locals, maybe even cook with some people.
